A '''bar''' is a sub-type of building material (interchangeable with a [[block]] for that purpose), and is the base individual unit of [[metal]], [[charcoal]], [[coke]], [[potash]], [[ash]], [[pearlash]], and [[soap]].  All [[metal]]s are created as bars at a [[smelter]], whether processed from [[ore]]s, [[alloy]]ed with other metals, or [[melt]]ed down from existing metal items.

With the exception of non-[[fire-safe]] materials, all bars are as durable as others - a wall made from bars of ash, charcoal or soap will last as long one made from bars of [[steel]].

All types of bars can also be used to build [[workshop]]s, [[road]]s, [[bridge]]s, and other [[construction]]s, as well as built as [[bars|horizontal or vertical bars]]. (Be aware that some purposes suggest the use of [[fire-safe]] materials.)  However, different bars require different [[labor]]s to use in such construction projects - [[smith]]ing for metal bars and [[mason]]ry for all others (including bars of soap).

"Bars" of [[adamantine]] metal are referred to as "wafers", but when used as building material they function the same as any other bars.

Each bar is made of 150 dimensionless units.  The primary purpose of this is so that bars of [[soap]] can be used multiple times before being used up.  However, this will sometimes cause baffling error messages like "Dwarf cancels make steel bar: needs 150 iron bars". {{Bug|63}}  This also seems to cause a bug where only one bar of metal is needed to make anything, even though some things should require two or three bars to make. {{Bug|130}}
